The race to Anarchy and Ethnic Rivalry and Polarization in America has begun.
The Executive, the Legislature/ Congress and the Judiciary and
4th Estate of the Realm are supposed to collaborate and work together in peace and unity as designed and envisaged by the Founding Fathers despite the separation of Powers Provision in the Constitution.
Only the 45th President out of the 46 Presidents of America would appear to want to weaken those Tiers and Institutions of Government and to force them to completely subjugate themselves to his power and control as their overall Boss and as a Dictator from Day One.
If you ask some of the famous Presidential Historians like Jon Meacham Michael Belsloch and Doris Goodwin and Professor Snyder of Yale who is in charge and who is minding the Store in America in crisis situations like now, they cannot in good conscience give you a definite answer.
Why? Because it is now clear to all and sundry that Trump is on a fast lane to distabilizing the country or burning it down to the ground, if he doesn’t get what he wants.
He prefers to knock the heads of those institutions for his own selfish interests because he only cares about himself and not the country.
In the UK, the House of Lords in collaboration with with Burkingham Palace would quickly move in to calm the waters and to restore order and stability in times of crisis.
In America you would have thought the U.S. Congress meaning the lower Chamber and the Senate and arguably the Judiciary/ the Supreme Court and the Executive would quickly collaborate to restore order and to protect the Rule of Law. Powerful individuals and religious leaders and elder statesmen and women across the nation would speak up to address the problem before it gets out of control.
But Donald Trump in his 4 years in the White House has quickly moved to make that impossible by polarizing the nation and falsely telling everybody that America has degenerated into a Banana Republic and has gone from grace to grass due to the influx of immigrants who have come to poison the blood of America and that he is the only one who can fix it just like Adolf Hitler has claimed in Germany before the Holocaust and the Second World War.
He has also said that if he doesn’t get elected or have his way in November there is going to be chaos and bloodbath worse than the French Revolution.
What is happening now in America, in many ways, is similar to what is happening in Kano State in Nigeria where the Federal Government and Kano State Government are at loggerheads right now as to who has the jurisdiction or the authority to remove and install the Emir of Kano.
Donald Trump is behaving right now as if America has two Presidents and there can only be one President at a time.
I sometimes wonder how for goodness sake can President Biden agree to debate the Seriki Tulasi who still argues he won the 2020 Election and a convicted felon who has been researched and documented to have told 30,573 lies in his 4 years in office which came to 21 lies per day?
How is any moderator going to be able to control that to give their Audience a fighting chance to believe anything he ever says on that podium in a 90 minutes debate?
Joe Biden remains the deJure President while Donald Trump acts and behave as if he is the de facto President who is above the law and can do whatever he likes.
Even though America is a rainbow coalition of ethnicities and immigrants, Mr. Trump wants American major institutions dominated by just one ethnic group of the Anglo Saxons led by him whose parents were immigrants from Germany and Scotland the last time I checked.
Left to him alone, the Judiciary and the Supreme Court in particular should be dominated by one Party and one ethnic group hence he quickly rushed to appoint 3 Supreme Court Judges to give an absolute majority of 6 to 3 Judges in the apex Court to his Party.
It was the beginning of trouble and polarization and division in that Court as we speak.
The spillover of the growing decadence and Anarchy in America is fast spreading to other democratic countries of the world who are now taking a script from Mr. Trump.
The development is already causing some ripple effect in the European Union and in Military Alliances like NATO which is in turmoil because of the situation in America and the need to address the situation in the Middle East, in Ukraine and Taiwan.
The sooner the situation is addressed the better for World Peace.
